Take a Tour of the Biologics Clinic
Welcome to the Biologics Clinic on Shapiro 9
Our clinic is located in the Shapiro Building. This photo is taken at the corners of Brookline and Longwood Avenues, but you can also enter the building via Longwood Ave (the right side of the building from this view) by Starbucks Coffee. Alternatively, you could park in the parking garage below Shapiro and take the elevators up to the lobby.
The main lobby of the Shapiro building has a concierge in front where staff members are trying to help you find your way! If you feel at all lost, ask the people in the red jackets for directions. They will certainly tell you how to get there and chances are they will take you there if you are really turned-around. Also in the lobby is a valet where you can pay for parking right there on the spot.
There are chairs and couches in the lobby, as well as a Soup Or Salad shop. For more food options, the Longwood Galleria is across the street. They have a food court with many options including Subway, Dunkin Donuts, Sbarro, McDonalds, and many more. For more information about the Longwood Galleria, please click here.
If you stand where this photo was taken (entering Shapiro from the Brookline Ave entrance), the elevators are on your right. When entering from the Longwood Ave/Starbucks entrance, you must walk up a flight of stairs to this lobby. The elevators will be on your left.
When you exit the elevators, you will see the waiting room behind the glass doors. Walk to the left of the building, alongside the windows. The entrance to the waiting room is on the right.
Make sure that you check in right away with the receptionists at the front desk. Even if you are early, they will let the physicians know that you are here.
Once you have checked in with the receptionist, you will be called by one of the phlebotomists into the room on the far left in this photo, where they will draw your clinical and/or research bloods. Once your bloods have been drawn, you will return to the waiting room and await being called to the examining room.
A receptionist will take you from the waiting room to the examining room where you will wait to see a nurse. The nurse will make a first impression of your general health status before the fellow or attending comes in to make their impressions. There is a computer in each of the examining rooms so that a nurse, fellow, or attending physician can quickly look up your medical record without having to leave the room.
